UBI Recipients may now resume all activities without using arms or legs, the Administration says, including most indoor and outdoor settings.
Asked if the new policy was restricted to work-related situations, the Administration elaborated:
“We mean not at all. The recipient will not, at any time, in any way, be required to use their arms or legs for whatever reason.”
“Universal basic income makes no distinction between “deserving” and “undeserving” people when making payments. The Administration is extending that policy to remove the requirement that people to use their arms or legs.”
Is the Administration implying that people don’t need to provide a service to others to receive their money?
“Requiring people to serve others in exchange for their own livelihood is abhorrent. The Administration strongly repudiates this correlation.”
“With automation and robotization, we live in a world with fewer paid jobs. Emerging technologies will lead to employment that will rarely if ever, be highly labor-intensive.”
Do recipients need to have a heartbeat to be eligible?
“We don’t check for that, no.”
Do recipients have to be human?
“We don’t check for that either. But the legislation does not yet cover animals or pets other than humans.”
What if a recipient is already missing their arms or legs?
“They’ll be fully covered under the UBI program. In fact, to avoid the appearance of cross-discrimination against the handicapped, those without arms or legs are eligible for additional payment.”
Isn’t this unfair to those who make an effort to be productive and to serve others?
“Until we can remove the social stigma of not working, or being required to use arms or legs, to serve others, we’ll always be seen as a backward society.”
“Everything is a human right, and unless we provide unconditional free money to everyone, we’ll never close the gap. And if we don’t close the gap, we can’t claim to be an enlightened society.”
